Ghastly greetings, galactic ghouls!
We’ve got chills… they’re multiplying! Spooky season is creeping into the 'verse, and a month brimming with mischief awaits. From in-game challenges to fiendish contests that test your creativity to tricks and treats along the way, get ready for a frightfully fun time as we kick off our Day of the Vara festivities this October.

But before you dive headfirst into all the Spooktober shenanigans, a quick spell to keep things running smoothly: scheduled maintenance is lurking around the corner.

A maintenance window is planned for Tuesday, September 30th, 13:00–21:00 UTC for Platform and Web services.

We’re trying a new approach to reduce disruption - instead of full downtime, there will be brief partial outages for:

Login Services

Spectrum & Community Hub

Pledge Store

Most platform features will remain available during this window. This method lets us perform updates and validations while keeping disruption to a minimum. Thanks for your patience while we work to keep everything running wickedly well.

Now, let's see what's going on this week:
On Wednesday, we're welcoming the month of October by kicking off the Day of the Vara festivities!

Also on Wednesday, dive into the September PU Monthly Report for a behind-the-scenes look at what the dev teams have been working on across the Persistent Universe.
